Rails Integration

Ruflet already has a Rails-first integration package: ruflet_rails.

This is the right choice when you want Ruflet UI inside a Rails app instead of as a separate standalone project.

Add the gem

gem TOKPLACEHOLDER0TOKEN, ">= 0.0.5"

Install into a Rails app

-function">bin/rails generate -function">ruflet:install

The generator creates and configures:

  • app/mobile/main.rb
  • ruflet.yaml
  • Ruflet mount routes in config/routes.rb
  • a client template when one is available locally

Generated config

app:
  name: My App
  ruflet_client_url: TOKPLACEHOLDER0TOKEN

services: []

assets:
  splash_screen: assets/splash.png
  icon_launcher: assets/icon.png

In Rails apps, asset paths are resolved from app/assets/ during build.

Build from Rails

The Rails integration exposes a build pipeline that mirrors the CLI:

-function">bundle exec rake -function">ruflet:build[web]
-function">bundle exec rake -function">ruflet:build[macos]
-function">bundle exec rake -function">ruflet:build[windows]
-function">bundle exec rake -function">ruflet:build[linux]
-function">bundle exec rake -function">ruflet:build[apk]
-function">bundle exec rake -function">ruflet:build[android]
-function">bundle exec rake -function">ruflet:build[ios]
-function">bundle exec rake -function">ruflet:build[aab]

Minimal Rails-side app

require TOKPLACEHOLDER0TOKEN

Ruflet.run do |page|
  page.title = TOKPLACEHOLDER1TOKEN
  page.add(text(TOKPLACEHOLDER2TOKEN))
end

When to choose Rails integration

Use ruflet_rails when:

  • your product already lives in Rails
  • you want Ruflet screens backed by existing Rails data and routes
  • you want to keep deployment and business logic centered in one Rails codebase

Use standalone Ruflet apps when:

  • you want a clean app repo
  • the UI/runtime lifecycle is independent from a Rails server
  • you are packaging a more app-centric experience
